This document summarizes two data and information management tools for the CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network: 1) An inventory of CGIAR gender studies that crowdsources research studies to provide an overview and foster collaboration. It aims to update studies and add more through crowdsourcing. 2) A Gender and Agricultural Data Navigator that supports sex-disaggregated data work by inventorying household surveys that can be disaggregated by sex, classifying questions, and identifying respondents. It aims to improve usability and get network support to grow the survey catalogue.

2. Inventory of CGIAR Gender Studies
• Crowdsourced catalogue of gender research studies
being carried out by CGIAR researchers.
• The idea came from the Gender Network Annual General
meeting in Los Baños, Philippines in 2015
• Aims:
• To provide an overview of gender research studies
• To foster collaboration within the network
• To aid in CGIAR reporting

4. What next
• Update existing gender studies with missing and more accurate
information
• Crowdsource more studies from the CGIAR Gender and
Agriculture network
• Create interesting visualizations of the CGIAR gender studies in
the inventory
• Combine data with other spatially defined CGIAR research e.g.
Sentinel Landscapes
• Create more linkages with ongoing open data/big data
platforms being developed in the CGIAR

5. Gender and Agricultural Data Navigator
• Tool to support the Sex-Disaggregated data work for Gender Analysis being led by Cheryl
Doss and Caitlin Kieran of CRP PIM led by IFPRI
• Searchable inventory of household questionnaires that focus on agriculture and food security
and can be disaggregated by sex
• The inventory classifies each survey question as sex-disaggregated or not based on who
responded and how the question was framed.
• It identifies whether each respondent is asked:
1. Who in the household has various rights and responsibilities
2. Questions about specific household members or all household members
3. Questions about him or herself, or
4. Questions about men and women separately, but not specific individuals.
If none of these approaches were used, then the information cannot be disaggregated by
sex.

6. Gender and Agricultural Data Navigator
What I hope to achieve:
• Get feedback on the usability of the tools and areas of improvement
• Have the network support Cheryl and Caitlin in PIM to grow the catalogue of
sex-disaggregated survey questionnaires

8. What next
• Improve the tool with feedback from the Gender Network members
• Network members to support further development of the tool led by PIM (Cheryl
and Caitlin) by adding more survey questionnaires to the inventory.
• Link surveys to more related resources Publications, data etc.
• Create a visual search tool of the same information
